Light Work’s Urban Video Project is pleased to present the exhibition Unseen/forgotten: An ode to the humble landscape | Invisible/olvidado: Oda al paisaje humilde from July 18 to September 28 at its architectural projection venue on the Everson Museum facade, Thursday-Saturday from dusk until 11:00pm.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the artist and Ithaca College Art Faculty Paulina Velázquez Solís will be present for a live performance on the Everson Plaza on July 26 at 8:30 p.m. This program follows the reception of Light Work’s Summer Exhibitions at 316 Waverly Avenue, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m
Unseen/forgotten: An ode to the humble landscape | Invisible/olvidado: Oda al paisaje humilde is the continuation of a project Paulina Velázquez Solís developed during the pandemic. She found herself in a new environment in Brooktondale, New York, surrounded by a creek where the change of pace and isolation brought via COVID accentuated the sound perception of the river, and its presence as a neighbor and living entity. This sonic connection was similar to her home in Costa Rica, which is also next to a river, making the sound and the experience of the river both grounding and nostalgic. This project, which includes interactive and performance-based elements, explores Central New York as a site of “post-industrial natural wonder,” using regionally extinct species in local herbaria as tools to meditate on “the tension between what prevails and what has shifted or disappeared” in a field of “memory, transformation, and territory.”
